Summer Punched Strawberry

...............................................

In this month's class we celebrated summer by creating summer themed punched cards. Today I'm posting the strawberry punch card we made, using the Sweet Essential stamp set. Another idea I had for this strawberry was to heat emboss the bottom section of the punched strawberry with a dark brown to look like a chocolate-dipped strawberry. 

If you'd like to punch out some summer fun, I've made the PDF tutorial for this month's three summer punched cards available for purchase for $3.95. You can click here for more information or to purchase.
Have a great day!

Today I'm posting a close-up of one of the cards we made at my summer themed punch art class this month, which was a lot of fun, BTW. We made three different themed cards to celebrate summer, with watermelons, strawberries and kites.

Same Layout Different Card

CLICK ON LINKS BELOW TO VIEW:

Today I'm sharing the other card I found from awhile back. I used the same layout as the Midnight Muse A Fitting Occasion card, only changed out the colors and the layout slightly. I used a lot of texture as well as a bright band of the Summer Smooches DSP, and the stamp set A Fitting Occasion...a fun, bright, simple card.

Thanks for letting me share!

A Fitting Occasion

CLICK ON LINKS BELOW TO VIEW:

I found a couple of cards that I made awhile back but never posted. Since I'm in between card making right now, it's the perfect time to share them. On this card I was trying out different ways to use negative space along with the stamp set A Fitting Occasion. I came up with this simple card.
I created the scallop circle frame by punching a circle into a piece of cardstock and then centering the scallop circle punch around the negative punched circle to create the scallop circle frame.

Thanks for stopping by!
